...reason was made clear at a series of hearings held by New Jersey Senator Harrison Williams just before Congress recessed two weeks ago. One witness, New York Shoe Salesman Murray Finkelstein, recounted how he piled up pension credits for 19 years. Then, last year, the store where he worked went out of business. Now he must work for 15 more years before he can draw a pension under his new employer's plan. "I will have to be 75 before I can retire," he told the committee. "I've had a heart attack...
...slaughtered eagles turned out to be all too true. Not only had 770 golden and bald eagles been killed in Wyoming, but they had been shot in the least sportsmanlike way of all-from helicopters. Testifying before a Senate subcommittee, James Vogan, a balding, heavy-set helicopter pilot from Murray, Utah, told how he had ferried sharpshooters and so-called "sportsmen" over ranches in Colorado and Wyoming to "sluice" the eagles.

When the Times refused to comply. Assistant Attorney General Robert Mardian began the Government's legal attack by seeking a temporary restraining order?the prelude to a permanent injunction?in Manhattan's federal court. By chance, the case went before a recent Nixon appointee, U.S. District Judge Murray I. Gurfein, who was serving his first day on the bench. Last Tuesday the new judge issued the restraining order and set a Friday hearing to consider the injunction. Meanwhile, the Government showed concern about its key legal problem: how to prove the alleged injury. It asked Judge Gurfein to order...
